Parabola
4P(y-k)=(x-h)^2
where (h,k) is vertex
P is distance from vertex to focus which is also equalt to distance from vertex to directix

we plot those points and see it opens up (don't cross directix)
P is positive
from 4 to 3 is a distace of 1
1/2=1/2
P=1/2
3+1/2=3.5
the vertex is (-1,3.5)

4(1/2)(y-3.5)=(x+1)^2
2(y-3.5)=(x+1)^2

put in vertex form (solve for y)
divide both sides by 2
y-3.5=(1/2)(x+1)^2
add 3.5
y=(1/2)(x+1)^{2}+3.5

What is the solution to this equation?
Fantom [35]

Answer:

x=-17

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Original</em><em> </em><em>Equation</em><em>;</em>

<em>x</em><em>+</em><em>1</em><em>2</em><em>=</em><em>-</em><em>5</em>

<em>The</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>will</em><em> </em><em>cross</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>equal</em><em> </em><em>sign </em><em>so</em><em> </em><em>it </em><em>will</em><em> </em><em>become</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em>1</em><em>2</em><em>. </em><em>So</em><em> </em><em>it's</em><em> </em><em>going </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>be</em><em>;</em>

<em>x</em><em>=</em><em>-</em><em>5</em><em>-</em><em>1</em><em>2</em>

<em>There </em><em>are</em><em> </em><em>two negative </em><em>number</em><em> </em><em>so</em><em> </em><em>you </em><em>add</em><em> </em><em>them</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>when</em><em> </em><em>you </em><em>add</em><em> </em><em>them</em><em> </em><em>it</em><em> </em><em>would</em><em> </em><em>still</em><em> </em><em>be</em><em> </em><em>negative</em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>And</em><em> </em><em>you </em><em>would</em><em> </em><em>have </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>add</em><em> </em><em>them </em><em>because </em><em>when</em><em> </em><em>there </em><em>are</em><em> </em><em>two</em><em> </em><em>negative</em><em> </em><em>numbers</em><em> </em><em>without </em><em>any</em><em> </em><em>other</em><em> </em><em>sign </em><em>you </em><em>will</em><em> </em><em>have </em><em>to </em><em>add</em><em> </em><em>so</em><em> </em><em>it's </em><em>going</em><em> </em><em>to </em><em>be</em><em>;</em>

<em>x</em><em>=</em><em>-</em><em>1</em><em>7</em>

<em>This </em><em>is </em><em>the </em><em>final</em><em> </em><em>answer</em><em>!</em><em>!</em><em>!</em>

cake batter poured into a pan creates a circular batter pattern whose radius increases at a constant rate of 1 in/sec. at what r
docker41 [41]

Answer:

8 π .

Step-by-step explanation:

radius increases at a constant rate of 1 in/sec.

dr / dt = 1

where r is radius .

radius after 4 sec

r = 1 x 4 = 4 in

area A = π r²

differentiating both sides

dA / dt = 2 π r dr / dt

Putting dr / dt  = 1 , r = 4 in

dA / dt = 2 π x 4 x 1

= 8 π sq in per sec.

Area increases at the rate of 8 π per sec.
